YOUR CHILD'S WELLNESS IS OUR #1 PRIORITY

Lancaster-Depew Pediatrics is a medical partnership composed of Dr. Mark D. Bezbatchenko, Dr. Michael D. Terranova, Dr. Elizabeth Davis, and Dr. Michael D. Rabice. As pediatricians we specialize in the care of newborns, children, and adolescents. We are prepared to take care of all your children's health needs: well child check-ups, illnesses and injuries. And if at any time you need some support, guidance, or advice, we will be there for that too. We also wish to stress that although pediatricians have traditionally been associated with the care of babies and small children, we have been trained in, and enjoy caring for adolescents and young adults.

Because we function as a partnership, we make no attempt to assign each patient to a "primary physician." We each expect to see all patients in the practice at some point and encourage you to meet each of us. If you prefer to see a specific physician for routine visits, please let that be known when making appointments. However, night and weekend coverage, along with sick visits, are handled on a rotation basis, and you will be cared for by the on-call physician.

If at any time you become concerned with the health of your child, we would like to hear from you. Our aim is to provide your children with excellent and comprehensive health care.

In 2012 the National Committee for Quality Assurance awarded Lancaster Depew Pediatrics a ranking of a Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home. Level 3 is the highest designation that can be awarded to a Pediatric Practice. We take great pride in being your child's Medical Home.

Effective June 1, 2017 we will no longer be faxing forms, shot records, or notes. All of these will be available on the Patient Portal. You can access the portal from your home computers, tablets or cell phones. Please call the office if you are having problems logging into the portal.

**Please note Portal will be unavailable 10:00pm-11:00pm daily for system maintenance.

We are happy to announce that we now have two Certified Lactation Counselors on staff. Marie and Sharon have both completed their certification, and are available to assist you with your questions, and concerns. Please call the office to speak with them, or come in for an appointment.

Immunization Policy

We encourage parents to review their children(s) immunization records, and make sure they are up to date. Although we respect each person's free choice, we have a bigger responsibility to all of the patient's that we care for. Because of this, Lancaster-Depew Pediatrics no longer accepts NEW PATIENTS who have decided not to immunize their children or who seek a delayed immunization schedule.
